This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This isn't all that weird. Most USB-C cables sold as "charging cables" are only wired up with 4-pin USB 2.0, because it keeps costs down for a product that wasn't designed for data.
And most people never transfer data do/from their phones with USB anyway, in a world of wireless protocols.
That Majin Buu always comes through. Except that one day... Damn you Kakarot!
Why? Are they still trying to revive firewire?
I'd hate to be one of the 15 unlucky buyers...

It's literally exactly as fast as lightning is for the current generation phones.. so you lose nothing / gain nothing.
But I guess it's apple so we gotta riot while it's perfeCtly fine for android phones to ship that way depending on which vendor you pick.
Ok .thats apparently a controversial opinion but....why does that matter. Usb2.0 is still fairly fast connection ,i doubt it will impact anyone, unless someone dumps a lot of data on iphones for....some reason,honestly i am not sure in what scenraio you would move a lot of data very often from phone to pc or reversed. Its not a headphone jack scenario where they took a capability from a phone. You still can send data through cable.it will just take a minute instead of 10 s.
The intent behind doing it matters. There's no legitimate reason to throttle the product other than self-serving interests on their part that negatively affect customers. It's not like USB-C or USB 3.0 are new technology. USB 3.0 came out months after the first iPhone was released, and USB-C came out when the iPhone 6 hit the market. Remember these aren't $20 portable hard drives they're $1000-$1500 "premium" devices.
